Talented striker Richard Arhin powered Aduana Stars to a narrow 1-0 victory over Inter Allies at the Nana Agyeman Badu Park in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Arhin fired Kwabena Ameyaw's side into the lead with a neat finish exactly on the half-hour mark and they held onto it to seal the victory.
The result means Aduana have closed in on second-placed Berekum Chelsea by a point and also piled further pressure on leaders AshantiGold who slipped to defeat against Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Aduana went into the tie knowing they could brighten their chances of winning the league if they beat Allies and they put in a lot of determination despite Allies showing stiff aggression in defence and central midfield.
Isaac Amankwah was booked in the early minute of the tie but Issah Yakubu and former Portugal-based starlet Lord Ofosuhene both went into the referee's book.
